Arranging Furniture in a Large Space?

As part of tonight’s Meetup with Rachel Ashwell, Maxwell and the crowd will be contributing suggestions to help one member from the group solve his or her design challenge. If you can’t make it tonight, here is your chance to contribute! Tonight’s challenge comes from Georgia: Q I would like suggestions in the arrangement of my living room and adjoining dining room. The space looks like a long hallway with no inviting space — just furniture plopped down where it fits. The room(s) measure 38 feet in length and 18 feet in width. Thank you!
